this week in my nutrition class, we discussed about world hunger. Before the discussion, i thought that world hunger only exists in third world countries. To my surprise, i found out that world hunger is also a big problem in developed countries like the United States. There are many people in the U.S. that are homeless and don't have food to eat. There are many non-profit organizations out there that help fight world hunger by providing food and shelter for the needy.
During my spring break, i spent time volunteering at a san jose family shelter organization that provides food and shelter for up to 144 people. When i was there, I helped prepare and serve food for the people living there. The whole experience was good and it also made me feel really good about myself for helping the needy. I think these organizations are great at what they do. These non profit organizations are helping put an end to hunger by providing homeless people with food and an opportunity to make a decent income. By offering our services to these organizations, we can help reduce the population of people in hunger. I definately recommend that everyone should try and volunteer once just to see how it is like to help out others. i , myself thought volunteering was a waste of my time. The whole experience changed my view.
